Review:

 


Large Music bar that is the sister pub of Sgt Peppers in the Haymarket area. There is a spacious and somewhat spartan feel to the place with an abundance of standing room throughout and limited seating consisting of mainly high stools around the walls and windows. A raised area located to rear has further standing space and more tables and high stools.

There is plenty of room for dancing in all areas with the emphasis on creating a party atmosphere. The bar is bright and airy during the day with large windows to the front. In the evening there is a disco type atmosphere with psychedelic flashing spotlights and neon lighting to the ceiling. Two features are the piano key clad bar and the zebra crossing on the floor a la Beatles Abbey Road. There are also Beatles jigsaw pictures on the walls.

Live sports including Sky sports football matches are shown on 12 digital screens dotted about the bar. There is also a selection of games machines. Regular music is on play at most times with a DJ located in small raised area at the rear of the bar. The DJ is a regular feature every night, playing a mixture of 60's - 90's music. Monday night is advertised as Student party night, Tuesday is 70's party, Live music on certain nights from 8.30pm with free entry to all music events. Resident groups are a regular feature. There is also guest appearances by other artists once a month. Thursday is 80's party night. Friday, Saturday & Sunday is a mixture of party hits through to 1am.

The pub has a lively atmosphere in the evening and attracts a mixed clientele with locals, shoppers and people on a night out. It is busy on most nights and especially busy at the weekend.

Disabled access is difficult with steps to the main entrance and a staircase at the rear to the toilets. Toilets are small and clean.



Price: Reasonable.
